Fucidin H Use In Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy: Fusidic acid: No effects during pregnancy are anticipated, since systemic exposure to fusidic acid is negligible.
Hydrocortisone acetate: A large amount of data on pregnant women (more than 1000 pregnancy outcomes) indicates no malformative nor feto/neonatal toxicity of corticosteroids.
Fucidin H can be used during pregnancy if clinically needed. However, based on a general knowledge about systemic corticosteroids, caution should be exercised when using Fucidin H during pregnancy.
Topical corticosteroids should not be used extensively, in large amounts or for prolonged periods in pregnant patients, as fetal abnormalities have been seen in animals due to systemic absorption.
Breastfeeding: No effects on the breastfed new-born/infant are anticipated since the systemic exposure of topically applied fusidic acid/hydrocortisone acetate to a limited area of skin of the breastfeeding woman is negligible.
Fucidin H can be used during breastfeeding but it is recommended to avoid applying Fucidin H on the breast.
Fertility: There are no clinical studies with Fucidin H regarding fertility.
